I’m building a pipeline of acquisition targets in my area and need help uncovering medium-sized companies that are ready to sell. The focus is strictly on the local market, and I’m interested in three key sectors: retail, technology and healthcare. Your job is to identify owners who have signalled an openness to a full sale or majority-stake exit, confirm their interest and gather enough background for me to evaluate next steps. You may use public records, industry databases, broker networks or direct outreach—whatever ethical, privacy-compliant method gets accurate results fastest. Deliverables (all in a spreadsheet): • Company name, sector and brief description • Owner or decision-maker’s direct contact details • Evidence of sale intent (news article, listing, broker note, or written confirmation) • High-level financial snapshot if available (revenue range, EBITDA margin, staff size) I’ll share additional locality boundaries and screening criteria once we start. Quality trumps quantity; ten solid, verified leads are worth more than fifty guesses. Let’s talk strategy and timeline if this sounds like a fit.

Hi There I’d love to help with your acquisition target research project. I have experience in lead generation, company research, and decision-maker sourcing. In my previous role supporting a Germany-based company, I conducted lead generation and business research, identifying qualified prospects, verifying company information, and building organized databases to support outreach and business growth. For this project, I can help identify companies that match your criteria, source owner or decision-maker contact details, verify potential sale intent through publicly available sources or outreach, and organize the findings into a structured spreadsheet for easy evaluation. I’m detail-oriented and understand that quality and verification are more valuable than a large list of unqualified leads. I’d be happy to discuss your target location, screening criteria, and timeline. All the best, Mutiah P.S. Will you be providing access to premium research tools such as Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Crunchbase, or other databases, or would you prefer me to work with my own research methods and publicly available sources?

Hi there, Identifying off-market acquisition targets requires a combination of deep-web intelligence, data scraping, and behavioral pattern recognition which are my expertises. I specialize in building precision lead-generation pipelines and validating data integrity to isolate high-value business opportunities. I understand that you prioritize quality over volume. Here is how my background directly solves your needs: Healthcare Sourcing: I engineered a deep-data acquisition model targeting specialized US clinic networks. I know how to navigate complex medical databases and trace ownership structures to find the correct decision-makers. Retail & Infrastructure Monitoring: Through my experience building high-speed monitoring systems for highly protected retail networks like Hibbett, I have mastered advanced web scraping and network layer interception to extract hidden data rapidly. Tech Sector & Trend Auditing: My data auditing work analyzing AI YouTube creators and executing complex Instagram behavioral metrics proves my ability to scrape unstructured digital footprints, cross-reference public registries, and track market intent markers. I will deliver a clean, zero-defect spreadsheet mapping out company profiles, verified owner contacts, financial snapshots, and concrete evidence of sale intent. Let's connect to define your locality boundaries and start mapping your target pipeline. Best regards, Dauda Abdullahi
